Calamitous Countdowns
(Part 2)
The sorrowful saga continues...
2003/2004
Venue:Siloso Beach, Sentosa
Description:
Organized by Mediacorp, there were live performances ranged from forgettable to insipidly repulsive to distract the audience before the highlight of the whole countdown, the foam party.
Downside:
After a couple of insignificant squirts of fireworks to mark the New Year, the arena was pretty soon packed with fervently enthusiastic people. Then down came an amassment of bubbles in a haphazard matrix of liquid film (aka foam) and the crowd went wild.
Unexpectedly, the foam machine stopped as if it has heaved its final breath. Minutes ticked by before it began to spluttering out more foam. Followed closely was another ill timed rest. Like hardened faeces stuck in an exceedingly stiffened rectum, the foam machine went on and off erratically despite the evident lack of foam in the arena.
We left shortly after.
Upside:
The sand was soft. It made good sandcastles.
Fun Factor: 4/10
Mediacorp + Foam Party without foam = Build Sandcastles (Not meant to make sense)
Alcohol Level: 3/10
A cup of watered-down beer and a bottle of alcoholic soda.
2004/2005
Venue: Angel @ Mohammad Sultan
Description:
This was initiated by me due to my newfound interest in trance music. Liquid Room was the club to be at for trance music except pure ignorance resulted me in missing out the fact that the age limit for guys there was 25 years old. Déjà vu. Before long, I was ambulating outside the stretch of notoriously "ah beng" clubs (eg. Tha Wu Bar, Rush, Madam Wong etc). We settled for Angel although it nowhere near heavenly inside.
Upside:
Kudos for the crazed crowd despite all the uncouth Hokkien terms being shouted in unison (to the beat of the music!), it was an eye opener.
Downside:
There is so much a human brain can tahan techno music. After two hours of um-zi um-zi “music”, I was positively sure that my interrigence dlopped. Jialak, almost ki siao.
Fun Factor: 6/10
It was fun while it lasted. (Yikes!)
Alcohol Level: 7/10
What did I dlink? How to lemember?!
